Annual Human Race Takes Place Sat., May 9

Sonoma County's largest collaborative fundraising event, The Human Race, takes place Sat., May 9 in Santa Rosa. The race is a 3K/10K walk or run through Howarth and Spring Lake Parks, rain or shine. Walkers, runners and pledge-gatherers raise funds for any nonprofit organization, school or church.

The Sonoma County Human Race has been an annual event for 28 years, and for 19 years has been the nation's largest Human Race. In 2008, there were more than 10,000 participants and more than $1 million raised for 400+ nonprofit organizations.

The run begins at 8 a.m., and the walk starts immediately after the runners have begun. The route begins and ends at Herbert Slater Middle School in Santa Rosa. For more information, visit The Human Race website.

Survey for Undergrad Students, "Are You Happy at SSU?"

The University is giving away five iPods to find out why students plan to stay at or leave SSU. The special survey called “Are You Happy at SSU? Tell us Why or Why Not?” will gather students' opinions about their experiences here. Information gained from this survey will be analyzed and the data will be used to make students' life the very best it can be. The survey takes 5-10 minutes to complete (50 questions) and can be found at the following link: http://tinyurl.com/cwttfa.

The survey is available now and must be completed no later than Fri., May 22. Faculty and staff are asked to direct students to the survey. The more student input received, the better the picture of their experiences at the University. For more information about this study, contact L. Rose Bruce at 4-2790 or bruce@sonoma.edu.

Sonoma County Transit Public Hearing - May 12

A public hearing to consider Sonoma County Transit service reductions takes place Tues., May 12 at 2:10 p.m. Included in the proposed reductions is Express Route 46, which services SSU. Currently, Express Route 46 leaves the Santa Rosa Transit Mall for SSU at 7:20 a.m. and arrives on campus at 7:45 a.m., in time for 8 a.m. work and classes. The proposed change would move back Express Route 46 to leave Santa Rosa at 8 a.m. and arrive at SSU around 8:30 a.m., too late for the start of normal work shifts and morning classes. Evening bus routes leaving SSU may also change. The proposed reductions, if approved, would begin in July.

The public hearing takes place in the meeting room of the Board of Supervisors of the County of Sonoma (County Administration Center, 575 Administration Drive, Room 102A, Santa Rosa). All are welcome to attend. For more information, visit the Sonoma County Transit website.
